1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast knows how to slide. Welcome

2
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansens, and I'm joined by a

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosa.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Though what up boys about football Sunday's the excitement in

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: the room right now. I would call it a lectric.

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: We are. This is Sunday night. We are recording after

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: all the games. I don't imagine there are too many

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: other NFL football podcasts that do this. So you know,

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: that's how we roll. That's why we got the Stitcher,

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: That's why we got the best of two thousand thirteen

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: and iTunes, right, Sessler, that is correct, That's why the

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: awards continue to just cascade in um so, yeah, that is.

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Anyone that's familiar with our podcast knows that we go

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: through each and every Sunday game one at a time

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: and uh analyze them, talk about some big takeaways, and

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: every game gets a good look and equal look, kind

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: of like the old Inside the NFL days with Len

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Dawson and Nick Bonacani. You look forward to your game

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come up. We don't skip anybody around

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: these parts. They're like children to us. You don't just

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: leave one child outside the house when it's raining. Well,

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: the other sixteen eat all day long. I don't even normally.

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Greg, Do you have

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: any kind of big picture takeaway from week one? Uh? Fun,

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Chef Guard, there didn't. I But listen, we're back in

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: the mix of things here. Well maybe because we're taping

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: this on Sunday night, even though there were some big

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: name teams that got upset. I just it's the thing

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: that hits me right away is the two Super Bowl

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: teams just looking like Super Bowl teams again. I mean

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: just that. Okay, maybe things haven't changed that much in

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: terms of the power teams. That's true. That's true also,

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and this is unfortunate thing, but injuries are a part

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL, and we saw a lot of injuries

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: to fairly big names and we're gonna get to all

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: of them. Uh So, fellas, should we get into it.

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Let's do it? T D behind the glass? How you doing,

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,480

00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: cay Rich song. Remember the Caridge songs. Yeah, Bunker Sacks

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: are old. Producer Ky Rich in the house tonight. Yes, Rich,

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: good too. Good to see you. You look beautiful as

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: always and you did a lot of Sunday night shows.

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Better looking than TV. Deal with the TV. Even though

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: your Superman shirt is very tight and it shows a

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: body that you've earned. K Rich. Great to see you,

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: darling doing well. Guys, Me and t D are fighting

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: behind the glass. But besides that, I know this is

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: this must be tough to have to watch someone else

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: produce your baby here. It's a little tough, but you know,

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I think I'll win in this fight. Even though he

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: has a skin tight shirt on D he taken down

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: a notch. Al right, well, great to see k Rich

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: as always one of the great alums of the Around

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast. Now let's get to the games. And

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: we had how many games do we had today? With thirteen? Yeah, math,

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm on fire. The last couple of podcasts, so let's

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: start a lot of good ones and we'll start with

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: one of the best, uh New Orleans. The Saints head

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: to Atlanta to face the Falcons. And Falcons, of course,

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: coming off that lost four and twelve season, the Saints

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people picking them as a Super Bowl darling,

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: but the Falcons deliver a statement. Matt Brian hit a

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: fifty one yard field goal to tie it late in

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: the game, then banged a fifty two yard field goal

69
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: in overtime to win it, giving the Falcons a thirty

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: seven thirty four victory over the Saints. UH, somewhat of

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: an upset. Fellas and the Atlanta Falcons are one to know, West.

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: This was your game. You you were telling me last

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: podcast how this is no longer the best rivalry in

74
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the league because it's not competitive anymore. It's not gonna

75
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: be a good game. I was, well, what happened the

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Falcons offenses for real? And I think the Saints might

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: have some cornerback problems. But the Falcons ran a lot

78
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: of four wide sets. As we talked about a couple

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: of times in the preseason, this Devin Hester is a

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver thing, isn't just an experiment. They're playing him

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: quite a bit. He had ninety nine yards today, which

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: is too shy of his career high. That's amazing. Five

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: catches for ninety nine yards out of Devin Hester. Like

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: all those years we kept making fun of the Bears

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: for trying to maybe just was on the wrong team.

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: He had some big catches too. He had a twenty

87
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: one yard catching the late in the fourth quarter that

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: set up that game time field goal. He was clutch

89
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones looks like we expect him to look.

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Roddy White looks like last year's injury plague season never

91
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: even happened. Matt Ryan was awesome today. Franchise record four

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight yards passing. Yeah, he was. He

93
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: was on point all day long. It was a great

94
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: game by him. Saints offense looked good to Brandon Cooks.

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: He had uh seven touches for eighty six yards in

96
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown by halftime. He's gonna be featured in that offense.

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: It looks like, wait, Wess, now you and I have

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: something in common. We picked the Saints to go to

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl to win it, to win it, and

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: uh you you know, after seeing the game, I have

101
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: to go back and watch it. You watched it closely?

102
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Are you concerned? I mean that's a that's a mountain

103
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: of yardage to give up. I'm not that concerned. No,

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: I think it says more about the Falcons than it

105
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: does about the things. And maybe maybe I was sucked

106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: in by Hard Knocks a little bit. I always do

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: seem to uh as Greg and I are both on

108
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: the same page and that sometimes you can get behind

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: that Hard Knocks team after following him for a month

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: on premium cable. But I, you're emotional, and so you're

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: easily swayed. All right, So I was swayed towards the

112
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: winning circle because I was the only one to pick

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game. So that is the first hero pick

114
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: of the season. And how you like them, Apple Sessler,

115
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: That's an excellent bit of self promotion, probably the first

116
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: of many in this episode, Dan draft hero picks like yes,

117
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: this will be just heads up, this will be a

118
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: recurring theme throughout Sunday Nights podcast and picking correctly here

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: if only you could pick the rest of your games

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: whatever typical Rosenthal shootdown moved. How about this Saints defense?

121
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: So it is there at least the chance that these

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: two teams are more similar than you guys thought going

123
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: into the season. In that they have an unbelievable offense.

124
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: I think both offenses could be really good and they have,

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, mediocre defenses. Why would the Saints be a

126
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: mediacor defense all year long? They were fourth last year

127
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: and they've upgraded the personnel. I just look at them

128
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: on paper and they don't seem like a fourth uh

129
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: talent type of team. Schedule I think was a factor

130
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: in that last year. They kind of play that Rob Ryan.

131
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: Mike Lombardi used to call it battleship style, where some

132
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: games you're gonna hit big, in some games you're gonna not.

133
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll be great at home, but when they're

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: on the road. It didn't shock me that that Ryan

135
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: racked up some yards. Yeah, I think that's probably fair.

136
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: They'll they'll give up some points on the road. Moving on,

137
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: Greg Rosen Toalls, New England. Patriots going to Miami. Everybody,

138
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people thought, hey, the Patch

139
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: will take care of business. A lot of people picking

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: him to go to the Super Butt. No, it didn't

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: work out that way. The Miami Dolphins went off outscoring

142
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: the dollar the Patriots twenty three to nothing in the

143
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: second half and a thirty three to twenty win over

144
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: the defending AFC East champions. Uh, that is a difficult

145
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: loss for the Pats. Greg Rosenthal, your thoughts, Well, there's

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: nothing flukey about it. The Dolphins completely dominated the second

147
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: half of the game on both lines. I mean, the

148
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: Patriots offensive line just got shredded. Cameron Wake was probably

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: the m v P of this game, or it was

150
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: no Sean Moreno, which just reminds me the offseason sometimes

151
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter at all because I was killing No

152
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Shan Reno. Remember he showed up to camp out of

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: shape and then he had surgery. We thought maybe he

154
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: gets caught. He ran like he had been listening to

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: everyone talk about that he was only a scheme player

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: because he broke a tackle on every single play. I mean,

157
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: whether it was the first quarter, second quarter, just popped

158
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: off the screen. Even though Lamar Miller started, Moreno finished

159
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: off the Patriots. You know who wasn't the m v

160
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: P of this game, Tom Brady, who, obviously you know,

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: we're all on the same page at Brady is still

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: going to be a top level quarterback this season. But

163
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: this was not a good start for the Mighty quarterback.

164
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: After the first half, they looked like they were in

165
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: mid season four. They moved the ball really well in

166
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: the first half, scored a lot of points short passes.

167
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: By the end of the game, he's he's in the

168
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Gabbard zone four point four yards per attempt the fifty

169
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: six throws. And I think the problem was, even though

170
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: he got hit a lot, he got knocked down ten

171
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: times in this game. So that's the recipe to beat him.

172
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: There were a handful of times when he did not

173
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: have pressure on him and he threw it deep and

174
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: he was not accurate. He missed five deep throws two

175
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: for eighteen on passes of fifteen yards or more. See

176
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm just making it. I'm thinking of one's even that

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: were easy. But that that pretty much tells the story

178
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: for you. What happened to the whole thing about um

179
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Brady and his receivers having another year to coalesce. It

180
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: not today. It's a better receiver group overall. Edelman was

181
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: very active, Tompkins was okay, but they don't have a

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: speed vertical guys. That's a problem. And Gronk, you know,

183
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: was on the field. He scored a touchdown, had a

184
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: fine Fantasy day, but he didn't look like the same Gronk,

185
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: he's not moving as well. So there's a difference between

186
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: the gronk came back from back in arms surgeries and

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: the Gronka came back from the new surgery, at least

188
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: so far. I would then killed get into the mix this.

189
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: It was always up in the air whether it was

190
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna play week one, but he just wasn't as it

191
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: wasn't moving nearly as well. And and there when you're

192
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: throwing deep to Edelman and Amon Douglas something those aren't

193
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: deep guys with Greg real quick. This was more about

194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: for you New England, not to what it can do

195
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: or is Miami a different football team? No, it was Miami.

196
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I just think they took it to the Patriots in

197
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: the second half. Bill Laser Show Bill Laser your boy

198
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Mark you wanted on the Make and the Leap series

199
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: and eventually it got shot down Q Laser Sounds the Dolphins.

200
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins top thirty points in a game. This is breaking

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: news because over the last two years they were tied

202
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars for a few as thirty point games

203
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Dolphins turned the ball over three times

204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: in the first half. They got a C plus game

205
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: out of Ryan Tannehill. When you guys go back to

206
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: watch this game, tannhell didn't play that great, missed a

207
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: lot of throws. This was about the running game, and

208
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: that's what they built in Philadelphia. The whole offense around

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: it was about the running game and there were lots

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: of open receivers. Mike Wallace also had a very good

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: game other than a fumble. Uh. I just I like

212
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: the look at this offense looked a lot more cohesive.

213
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait anymore, fellas. I think we have to

214
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: get Kevin Patrick on the line for his first appearance

215
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: of the two thousand fourteen season. It feels like the

216
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: right time, So why don't we do that. We'll get

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: him on the line and talk about some games he

218
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: watched closely, starting with Buffalo Chicago t D. Can we

219
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: make that happen? Yes we can. Kevin Patrick? Are you there, buddy?

220
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick? Coming at you, buddy, Welcome back another season?

221
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing fantastic? Finally, what dark bar

222
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: are you in? Like a huddled in a hallway after

223
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: watching a full slate of NFL action. You know what,

224
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: I've had a rough couple of days, so I was

225
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: just hanging out with my brother. Okay. I like I've

226
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: learned enough about Patrick working with him for several years now.

227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: When he said he has a rough couple of days,

228
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: don't ask because it could mean a lot of different things.

229
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: This is the man who's openly spoke of street fights.

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: He's basically a local tough. There could be dead bodies

231
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: in a closet somewhere, but not not not stuff for

232
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: a family show, all right, So Kevin Patrick, let's keep

233
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: the train rolling. Uh, Buffalo and Chicago. The Buffalo Bills,

234
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: of course, went to the Windy City. Everybody thought, Oh,

235
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: the Bears gonna take care of business. It didn't work

236
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: out that way. Buffalo jumped out to a seventeen seven

237
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: lead after Jay Cutler led the Bills excuse me, lad,

238
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: the Bears back to tie it up. The Bills finish

239
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: it off with a field goal to win it, and

240
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: you have a one and oh Bills team and owen

241
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: one Chicago Bears team. We did not see this coming,

242
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: did we. We didn't, Especially after the Bears first drive.

243
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Cutler just diced up the Bills defense and it looked like, wow,

244
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: this could be just as easy as he started out

245
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: last year and then it just fell apartfor Cutler. He

246
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: made he turned into bad Cutler. He started throwing off

247
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: his back, but when the fild started getting pressure, he

248
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: made the worst interception I've ever heard, I've ever seen that.

249
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams the defensive Did you see Josh McCown's interception today?

250
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Did you see Josh McCown's interception today? Because maybe that

251
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: would be worse. Well, I did see it, and it was.

252
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: But I mean when it discuss the sack, you know,

253
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go on, uh, you know. And then e J.

254
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Manuel didn't play great, but he was a game manager.

255
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: He looked better than he did in the five preseason games.

256
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: But that isn't saying much. Uh. And the Bills ran

257
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: the ball, Uh used it a lot of different backs.

258
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 1: Nobody stood up. The crazy thing about the Bills is

259
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: a one on the road, and there's nobody on since

260
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: that you could point and said, stood out very well.

261
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: How about my guy, Robert Woods, the man there's a

262
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: there's a sandwich on the line. If he leads the

263
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Bills in receiving, you know what he's doing. After one week,

264
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: he's leading the Bill four catches for seventy eight yards

265
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: for Robert Woodson. He clearly had the most rapport with EJ.

266
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Manually looked to him early in in the beginning of

267
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: the game, and he had a good like thirty two

268
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: yard catch and run, but earlier it was mostly short passes. Checkdown.

269
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: E J was in full force early and then he

270
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: hit Sammy Watkins on a couple of scenes, and then

271
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: he started open up a little bit, but he only

272
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: had through twenty two passes. They were clearly managing the

273
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: game for him. And look, how about Fred Jackson. We

274
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: everyone wrote this guy off three years ago. Fred Jackson

275
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: had half as many carries as C. J. Spiller, but

276
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: had more yards sixty one yards. Fred Jackson can still move, Yeah,

277
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: And he stiff armed the hell out of Chrisconti to

278
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: get to the one yard line too. It was murder.

279
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: It was awesome run by him. The Bears ramblets and

280
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: he got past it and he was just gone. Uh.

281
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: And that was the end of the game. And that

282
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: was that came after the Bears canna do anything on

283
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: their opening O G drive And what did you what

284
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: did you see from e J? Manuel Well, like I said,

285
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he was checked down most the way. He

286
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: was just a game manager. They didn't ask him to

287
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: do a whole lot that he just did. He had

288
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: one play where he was moving to his left and

289
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: he tried to throw across his body and he threw

290
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: a pick. Other than that, he was just checked down.

291
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: Don't make don't force any throws. If it's not there,

292
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: dump it off. That was what he did. He had

293
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: a seven point nine average and only a hundred seventy

294
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: three yards. Like I said, only twenty two passes. So

295
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: they really were managing the game for him. Should we

296
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: see this as a foreboding sign for the Chicago Yes,

297
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: this is the worst. This is the worst last of

298
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: the day, isn't it. I feel like, if you're a

299
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Bears fan, you went through the Lovey Smith era with

300
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: a semi dominant defense that never had an offense to

301
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: really complement it. Now it's the exact reverse where this

302
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: you had. You had four receivers with over seventy yards.

303
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a very competent, effective passing game.

304
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: But then man, the defense is a nightmare. Well, they

305
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: had twenty nine first downs and any points, which is

306
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: a disaster in terms of efficiency. I mean they That

307
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: means they moved the ball all day, but they couldn't score.

308
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: They go to San Francisco next week on Sunday night.

309
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Then they're in New York against the Jets. I mean,

310
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: it's very easy to imagine them oh and two heading

311
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: to the Jets and needy to win there early. It

312
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: could be a bit of a panic time and all

313
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Shoan Jeffrey getting hurt and not playing the fourth quarter

314
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: in overtime? Would you could tell? They're often couldn't do

315
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: much without them. It was mostly jump offs to Matt Forte,

316
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: who looked great again. By the way, I should add

317
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: that um. But the defense is they hyped it up

318
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: all off season. They couldn't get a pass rush to

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: save their life. It is just this defense looks really

320
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: bad again. All right, Let's move on to It pains

321
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: me to say this, but to the game that featured

322
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: the coach that made the best second half adjustment of

323
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: the day. His name is the genius Chip Kelly. The

324
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: Eagles fall behind seventeen nothing in the first half behind

325
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: a slew of Nick Foles turnovers. They rally back, how

326
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: her in the second half and end up with a

327
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: thirty four seventeen win. That is thirty four unanswered points

328
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: after that slow start. So, uh, you know, there was

329
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: a point in this game where uh Folds was hurting

330
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: and struggling and Mark Sanchez had his helmet on, and

331
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden people were buzzing about what was

332
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: happening with the Philadelphia Eagles. But all was right by

333
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth quarter. Yeah, it was really

334
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: a game with two halves in Nick Foles. To be honest,

335
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Nick Foles played the same pretty much throughout. It was

336
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: just a better players. Finally, one out on the eagle

337
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: side was clearly having more depth and just one out

338
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: and full stop turning the ball over. He still made

339
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: not not so great throws. He still was high on

340
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot of throws, and he still held on to

341
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: the ball too. Damn long throw the ball. Uh, that's

342
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: why he kept doing those sacks. He didn't get rid

343
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: of all he had protection at first, and then he

344
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: just didn't see the guy from the backside. Two fumbles

345
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: on the first two drives set up the Jags for

346
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: their two two touchdownes scores by our boy Alan hearns.

347
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Alan Hearn might be was probably the m EP of

348
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the entire league after the first quarter of first I

349
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: think I worked at c G I Friday's with him

350
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: in the summer of two thousand. Is that the same guy? Oh? Okay,

351
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Should we give credit to the Jaguards for being feisty

352
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: here or just annoyed? That which I'm gonna I'll answer it.

353
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: I'll step in. Why should we give them any credit?

354
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be good this year? Go up seventeen

355
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: nothing in the third quarter, you gotta you can't get

356
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: blown out in that game. Well, that is a terrible

357
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: way to finish the game for Jacksonville. We still have

358
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: the lead going into the fourth quarter. I liked that

359
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: Week one brings out all the crazies, all the knee jerks. Guy.

360
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted me at like halfway to the second quarter

361
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: and said, I can't wait to hear your precious genius

362
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly on the podcast tonight. These people, I don't know.

363
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: The Week one over reaction stuff really gets to me. Well, Kevin,

364
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: are we, uh, how should we react to Toby Gearhard

365
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: making the lead candidate eighteen carries for only two yards

366
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: and two point three yards? But I know he was

367
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: uh what he hurt his ankle or something during the game. Well,

368
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: how does he look to you before that? Though? Is

369
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: this is this guy really someone you can anchor the

370
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: offense too? I I don't know, because they're offensive line.

371
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: You mean he was running in the guys at the line.

372
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean every yard he got he earned hardcore. Yes,

373
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: there was no open holes. Every need one run where

374
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: he bomps it outside that he got like six or

375
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: eight yards, but that was it. I mean, he was

376
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: getting hit right at the line every time. They were

377
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: not opening up a single hole for him. I'm kind

378
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: of worried because he didn't seem to be able to

379
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: burst through that those tackles like we saw in the past.

380
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kevin. Kevin's covering uh the Lions Giants for

381
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: us on Monday Night Football Live and in the House,

382
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,760

383
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: and he's in a Chicago bar where he's convinced everyone

384
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: in the tavern to stay quiet while they turned the

385
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: music down. And now that he's off the phone back

386
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: to make it up, it's Lionel Ritchie Like everybody's dancing.

387
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: I can imagine know Richie on the ceiling. Ye sure,

388
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: um hey By the way t D I was. You know,

389
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, like, this is a new season. Uh,

390
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: it's exciting. We're going through all the games on a

391
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: Sunday evening. Why don't we get a little music in here, music,

392
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: familiar sonic arrangements while we go through the rest of

393
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: the games. I got I got just a thing for you,

394
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: all right? Right? Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. That beats

395
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Linel Richie. That's pretty good. But I was thinking something else.

396
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: You have anything else? Let's see. I got this. Now

397
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: you're just going through all your soundclips, which are not

398
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: a lot. All right, Let's how about this. How does

399
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: this work for you? I can warm up to this. Ah,

400
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: that's nice, all right, Let's keep moving. I'd like to

401
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: call this song Mountainside Death Wish that checks out? That

402
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: checks out? All right, Let's move on Cincinnati Bang as

403
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: they head, the Bengals heads to the Baltimore Ravens and

404
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out for the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati

405
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Bengals get a seventy seven yard touchdown reception from A J.

406
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Green with less than five minutes to go that was

407
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: countered after a Steve Smith touchdown reception put the Ravens ahead,

408
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals blew a fifteen nothing lead but still came

409
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: back to win twenty six. Whoa Bengals? Another hero pick

410
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: for one Dan Hansas. And while we're here the TV,

411
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: do you have anything you could play for the rest

412
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: of the Fellas because I was listening to the podcast,

413
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: uh the other day when you're talking about some of

414
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: my hero picks? What do you got there? Oh? My

415
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins Patriots? Another game where Dan Hanss has a hero

416
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: pick because he's insane. Alright, what else do we have?

417
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: We just keep going sounds like Dant in his own head.

418
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: He's got a little r G three action you one?

419
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: All right? Now? She's picked some wild ones? Anything else?

420
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Dan took a few weeks off, come back, and he

421
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: picks like five hero picks right off the back, most

422
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of which don't make sense. Well, the connective tissue is

423
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: also when you have a human being under the age

424
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: of six months in your house, waking up every three hours,

425
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: you start to do things that don't make sense from

426
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: an adult level. Well, this was Fellas. That is third

427
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: hold on trying to go out of my way to

428
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: had you gotten all those wrong? To give you a

429
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: backing that we're saying here, we gotta go to we

430
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: gotta say scoreboard. Right now, five of us picked games

431
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: for the week. Out of the five of us, you

432
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: are tied for fourth. You are a sad sad man

433
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: just saying though that's a that's a fact. What we

434
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: are discussing. Give Sessler a little credit for picking to

435
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: use this podcast to self promote for a full forty

436
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: we are discussing are the hero picks. And that's what

437
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: all those sound bites were. And you guys counted me out.

438
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: With a lot of people count me. I'll call me

439
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: the underdog champion of the underdog. In fact, let's move forward.

440
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Dan has brought this podcast to a screeching, an awkward halt.

441
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: All right, so thank you. Let's get back into it.

442
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: You guys are putting your place and I'm happy. A. J.

443
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: Green wins at seventy seven yard touchdown in the Bengals

444
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: big road win over Baltimore. There was a game I

445
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: love that Cincinnati, when we're concerned about this potentially being

446
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: an average team, opens with five straight field goals. It

447
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: should yeah, it should have been instead of fifteen to nothing,

448
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: it should have been eight or thirty one to nothing.

449
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: The Ravens got worked over, uh, and their offense looked terrible.

450
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Every time I turned on this game, a skidding pass

451
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: from Joe Flacco was just going across the field or

452
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: at his receiver's feet, or Steve Smith was dropping it,

453
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: or Owen Daniels was dropping it. The offense just looked horrible.

454
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: And you know, it was last year that they go

455
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: out the Ravens against the Broncos and the opener and

456
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: Flacco looks completely out of sorts throwing sixty two passes.

457
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: So we write all these puff pieces all off season long,

458
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: saying Gary Kubiak's here. He's gonna manage Flacco and make

459
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: him a smarter passer. You'll never see sixty two attempts

460
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: ever again in Baltimore during the flacc of era. How

461
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: many attempts tonight? Give me a break. Well, Bernard Pierce

462
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: got bench for fumbling No Ray Rice. They were in

463
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: a kind of a tough spot offensively today. Bernard Pierce

464
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: got thoroughly out played by Justin Forcett. I don't think

465
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: it was bad that that he ended up on the

466
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: bench right two to The Bengals won this game by more. Yes,

467
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: because I mean this, they were losing with five minutes

468
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: left before that green play. They were losing because they

469
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: failed to take advantage of all these scoring drives early

470
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: in the game, and Steve Smith kind of a broken play,

471
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: got behind pac Man Jones and Flacco hit him, and

472
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: then Steve Smith grabbed pac Man Jones by the face

473
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: mask and just throw him about five yards sit down,

474
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: Sun was basically what the play was. Nice up um

475
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: any other comments of the game. Fels Flacco ran, he ran,

476
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: They ran out of time in the first half. I

477
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: guess he called it the stupidest play he's ever made

478
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: in football. It looked like watching the game, these games

479
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: home losses in the division, those are the those are

480
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: the onesie circle. I mean, that's a big that's a

481
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: big loss. They're gonna have to go to Cincinnati later

482
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: in the season and get a win on the road

483
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: or else they're in a big hole. Do you know?

484
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: It was almost as stupid as that play. Taking sacks

485
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: on third and fourth down with the game on the

486
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: line in the red zone. That was Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco,

487
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The Houston Texans fellas have snapped a

488
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: fourteen game losing streak. A rookie named Alfred Blue. Familiar

489
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: with his work mark, I believe that we had a

490
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: few tweets about him during the preseason. He was He

491
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: ran hard in August, blocked a punt and returned it

492
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. That was a big play in this

493
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: game against the Redskins. J J. Watt had a monster

494
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: game and it all added up to a seventeen six

495
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: win for the Texans. Texans over the Redskins at Reliance Stadium,

496
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: and the two big takeaways I had was a J. J.

497
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Watt sack, blocked an extra point, covered a fumble, knocked

498
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: down a pass, had another UH sack that was wiped

499
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: out because of intentional grounding Penny penalty. Absolutely dominated the game.

500
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Seven quarterback hits. Seven quarterback hits. This was an outrageous

501
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: performance from the best defensive player in the league who

502
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: just signed a major contract. The other guy that jumped

503
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: out to me, but for different reasons r G three

504
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin third Listen. I'm not writing off his comeback

505
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: player of the Year chances at this point, but this

506
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: was another very suspects sign or a bad sign for

507
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: a player that just doesn't seem to kind of know

508
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: who he is right now. He didn't use his scrambling ability.

509
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's there right now. He

510
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: was under duress and was unable to get away from

511
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: the pass rush. And he really didn't very little in

512
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: the game. They didn't move the ball. The Redskins have

513
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: a lot of problems. What's what's the difference between the

514
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: box score and what you're saying though, Because if you

515
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: wake up Sun Monday and you or you just look online, it's,

516
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, thirty seven to sixty seven. It's a good average.

517
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: Uh did fumble twice, so that that's big, But it didn't.

518
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he had a disastrous game if

519
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: you just look right. And I guess that's when the

520
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: box score can be deceiving. And I and I you know,

521
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: when we watch these games. Maybe if I rewatch it,

522
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe it will seem that he played better. But I

523
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: implore you guys to check it out, as I know

524
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: you will, and let me know what you thought about it.

525
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: He just didn't seem to be a confident player. Uh,

526
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: there was just the way he was playing. He just

527
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: doesn't look anything like the guy in two thousand twelve

528
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: that knee brace is gone, but he didn't have any

529
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: of that dynamic juice, and he certainly seems to be

530
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: hesitant about running with the football. Maybe that's a j.

531
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Gruden plan to keep him in the pocket, but that's

532
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: still very much a working progress. Beyond the box score,

533
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't he also throw almost every single pass within five

534
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: yards of the line of scrimmage. Yeah, there was not

535
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: a lot of downfield throwing. It didn't help that Jordan Reed,

536
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: who was really one of his big guys over the middle,

537
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: went out with a hamstring injury. Left the game. To

538
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson was not a impact player in this game. Uh,

539
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: there just there was no explosiveness in their attack. What

540
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: a terrible week one feeling for Redskins fans to score

541
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: six points in Houston. To let Ryan I know, Ryan Fitzpatrick,

542
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, I know the Texans didn't score a ton either,

543
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: but two d and six yards nine point four yards

544
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: per temph. We we killed Fitzpatrick in this Texans offense.

545
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: Did they at least look a little bit better in

546
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: this game than expected? Yeah? I mean, Arian, here's the

547
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: big takeaway from me, Arian Foster h is back to

548
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: being a workman. Workman, in this offense, he had twenty

549
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: six carries went over a hundred yards uh for I

550
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: believe the twenty six time in his career. He looks

551
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: like he's healthy. Uh. If you want to talk about

552
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: a big downside. Oh. DeAndre Hopkins also had a long

553
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: touchdown uh seventy six yards and making the leaf candidate.

554
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: I believe yes, Uh so he looked good. I don't

555
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: want to bury what may can be seen as the lead.

556
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: Potentially as well for the Texans, Jadevian Clowney suffered a

557
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: knee injury left in the second quarter out four to

558
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: six weeks per Ian Rappaport the rap sheet with a

559
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: torn meniscus issue that will require require surgery on Monday,

560
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: and all so with sprained mcl. So that is the

561
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: bitter sweet aspect of what was a very good day

562
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: for the Texans. By the way, our our daunting NFL

563
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: music is spun into what seems like a low level

564
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: dance hall. Oh, this one's a jaunty hit. Somebody in

565
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: the corner during the Charleston Apparently you guys don't own

566
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: power in the glory the great NFL film city that's

567
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: put out of it. I'm familiar with this song. I

568
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: just think maybe, you know, let's shift into something a

569
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: little bit more T D H. Mark Sessler. Mark Sessler

570
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: has requested somebody go back to Mountainside death Wish, maybe

571
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: black Beards revenge If you have it, thank you here

572
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: we are You mentioned the grim feeling for Redskins fans.

573
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: This is the biggest loser game. The Texans had the

574
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: longest losing streak in the NFL at fourteen games. Now

575
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: the Redskins had the longest losing streak in the NFL

576
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: at nine games ouch. Moving forward to the Kansas City

577
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs got out to a what eight no start last year?

578
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: That's correct? Maybe I don't know who knows. It didn't matter.

579
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: Ultimately they got knocked out in the first round of

580
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. In the new season is not starting well

581
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: at all? Loss at home too. I don't know the

582
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: tanna See Tight Tones that the Tennessee Tight Tones. Jake Locker,

583
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: who I guess is the quarterback by the stats two

584
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: sixty six yards and two touchdowns, outplayed Alex Smith, who

585
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: threw three and I'm gonna get tweets from Titans fans

586
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: over that. Three interceptions from from Alex Smith. Also injury

587
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: issues for the Kansas City Chiefs, who lost uh, Mike

588
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: DeVito and Derek Johnson to achilles injuries, season ending achilles injuries.

589
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: A bad, bad day in Kansas City for the Chiefs. Well,

590
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: you were talking about biggest losers. The Chiefs are the

591
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: biggest losers of Week one. They lost Week one. They

592
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: were at home against the Titans, one of the only

593
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: games if you look at their schedule, that they'll be

594
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: favored for the next evan weeks. And they got crushed.

595
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: And they lost one of the most underrated defensive players

596
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: in a league, their defensive heart and soul, Derrick Johnson.

597
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: They lost another starter that you mentioned, Mike DeVito. I mean,

598
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: it could have not have possibly been worse. The Titans

599
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: pushed them around. This game was defined by one play

600
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: that repeated twenty different times, Alex Smith backing up to

601
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: pass and then just sitting there and waiting and like

602
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: looking around, wait, oh, wait, no, we have no players

603
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: that are wide open and just scrambling around for twenty

604
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: seconds and eventually he'll throw the ball away. Chairs. It

605
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: was actually a diagram of what Alx have looked like,

606
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: which I enjoyed. What happened to the Chiefs offense, by

607
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: the way, that was explosive in the second half of

608
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: last season. In the playoffs, they need some wide receivers.

609
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Donnie Avery is getting all the targets. They have no

610
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: Dwayne Boats. What about the son of Ernest Hemingway or

611
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: the grandson Jr. Was not really in the mix. Frankie

612
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: Hammon was the Anthony they tried to get Travis Kelsey involved.

613
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles had nineteen yards in this game, rushing thirty

614
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: four total. That's less than half of any game that

615
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: he had last year. His worst game of the year

616
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: last year was over seventy five. He did absolutely not

617
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: at just nothing. The Titans dominated up and down. Yeah,

618
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Ray Horton got him moving it, and the Titans offense

619
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: was solid. Jake Locker getting the ball out of his

620
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: hands quickly, Justin Hunter another making the leap guy was

621
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: was looking good. And how about a little kicker revenge?

622
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: Ryan suck up? Oh, I forgot former Mr Irrelevant perfect

623
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: on four attempts playing against the team that cut him last.

624
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: This was the most exciting story of Greg's day. I

625
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: was honking about it. I assigned myself Titans Chiefs just

626
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: because I'm that kind of guy. I was getting next

627
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: Area man honks about kickers success and its former employer.

628
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't cut suck up. I mean, no

629
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: one talked about that. All weak up to suck up?

630
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Luck Luck Manning and all all these other games.

631
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: How about Ryan suck up, return into Arrowhead and sticking

632
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: it up Andy Reid suck up doesn't suck total jea

633
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: material right there? Moving forward, Chris Ivory, a man that

634
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: was not on West's running back list, first through the

635
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: defensive line of the Oakland Raiders for seventy one yards

636
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: in a touchdown, the biggest play in a nineteen fourteen

637
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: win by the New York Jets on Sunday at the Meadowlands.

638
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: The Jets vastly outplayed the Raiders and Derek Carr holding

639
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders do I believe less than a hundred and

640
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: thirty yards of total offense. The Jets did not play great.

641
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Geno Smith made some mental mistakes as he's wont to do,

642
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: but they get the victories we all had predicted. You

643
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: know what, Chris Ivory wasn't on my list? Why it

644
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a list of the most times spent in the

645
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: tub ouchers. Not today, He's bursting into the second level

646
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: with Gino though. Are you seeing improvement? Here's the thing,

647
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: interesting performance from Geno Smith. And again, I know you're

648
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: all film Jokey's watched Geno Smith because twelve consecutive completions

649
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: at one point, which never happened last year. He was

650
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: pretty scatter shot. He looks much more comfortable in the pocket.

651
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: He is a much his release looks cleaner. It seems

652
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: like he's seeing the field better. But he also continues

653
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: to have issues with some decision making. He did not

654
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: get down and slides soon enough. That led to one

655
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: fumble in the red zone. He threw an interception on

656
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: a great diving play by Charles Woodson, uh, fumble twice actually,

657
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: and also got sacked uh and took the Jets out

658
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: of field goal range on a field goal attempt that

659
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: would have ice the game. So you're you're still dealing

660
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: with that kind of stuff. But then again, it's still

661
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: the first game of year two. This is an ongoing progress,

662
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: unbalanced progress. Regina completed twenty three passes, third highest single

663
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: game total Enfranchise history for completion, should beat down four

664
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: total yards and Maurice Jones drew for everyone that drafted

665
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: him in the fourth or fifth round of their fantasy leagues.

666
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: You deserve what you got. Anyone could have. There is

667
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: nothing going on in that backfield. And Derek Carr, to

668
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: his credit, he started out I believe five and five

669
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: actually a lot of checkdowns and things of that nature.

670
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: But once Rex Ryan really started to kind of get

671
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: in a groove, Card had nowhere to go with the ball.

672
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: He was running for his life. They got a late

673
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: touchdown in a beautiful catch by James Jones to at

674
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: least give him a shot, and an onside kick that

675
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: didn't work out for them. But you know, when you

676
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: look at this Raiders offense, the running games, not getting excided,

677
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: they don't have great weapons, and get a ricket quarterback

678
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: West you talked about it on our last podcast. He's

679
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: entering a deathly situation. So I don't see how this

680
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: could turn out. Well, won't be uh quite the same

681
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: story potentially next week when they go into Green Bay

682
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: to face a hyper angry Packers team. No, the secondary,

683
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: not quite tested by Derek Carry, didn't really have a

684
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: chance to because the Jets have that great front. But

685
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You know he's gonna be taking shots at

686
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: the Jets secondary next week. But for now, a win

687
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: for my team. Then now we moved to Marks team,

688
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, who fell behind three at the end

689
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: of the second quarter. Hold on, I will not discuss

690
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: this game with this music in the background. Yea, what

691
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: is this is just another classic? You guys aren't true

692
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: fans of the game. If you don't like all these songs.

693
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: This is great NFL films for John. Now we're in

694
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: a meadow? Is this good for you? Like meadows? This

695
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: is fine? Meadows? This is good? All right, let's move forward.

696
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers went up. Mark. I was sitting across from you.

697
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: You looked like a broken man. It was way too

698
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: early in the season to see that from you. But

699
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: then something happened. Brian Hoyer wakes up, the offense wakes up.

700
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's seven. Browns even get the ball.

701
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: They have possession late in the fourth quarter of a

702
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: chance to win. It doesn't work out. Eventually, Sean sweet

703
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: Um hits at forty one yard field goal. Steelers win

704
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven. So a lot of people in the office

705
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 1: come up to Mark and say, oh, you know, great

706
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: moral victory. You know you have to be happy about it.

707
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: Something that understandably I saw Mark's frustration with well, I

708
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: agree with Mike Petton, and this is what we would

709
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: not have heard from the pat Schirmer's of the world.

710
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: He basically said that he told the team, this is

711
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: a past failed league and we failed. You lost the game.

712
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: I understand that you can try to draw things that,

713
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: but that's the sign of a bad team. Oh look

714
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: at you did this a little bit better than you

715
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: have in the past. And there were encouraging signs because

716
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: if I really want to point something out that they

717
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: did and to get back into that game, they dominated

718
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They had three running backs run

719
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: for six plus yards to carry and your boy got

720
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: in the mix well because Ben Tate left, Terrence West

721
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: and Isaiah crow L. I mean they ran for a

722
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three yards off seven carries. That that

723
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: trio of guys, they haven't done that in ages in Cleveland.

724
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: So you know, some of these teams talk about, like

725
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Rams friends, is we're gonna We're gonna

726
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: beat teams with the run. No, you're not because you

727
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: can't do it, You've got to be able to do it.

728
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland showed some ability today, but bottom line, Big Ben

729
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: eighteen and one against Cleveland. That's the best record by

730
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback against another team since nineteen seventy. It's been

731
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant and there's no way to escape this with

732
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: a loss and say it's a moral victory or anything else.

733
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: They got the Saints next week that won't get any easier.

734
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: The defense gave up almost four yards in the first half.

735
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: What's Joe Hayden? Joe had Justin Gilbert? Justin Gilbert came

736
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: out of a very ugly preseason and got fried today

737
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: by making the leave candidate Marcus Sweeten. Antonio Brown owned

738
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden. That's a concern. There's a lot that they

739
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: have to go back and fix or it's going to

740
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: be a long year. Two things, uh both Johnny Manzel

741
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: related one one question. The answer is yes, definitively. I

742
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: don't remember. Oh how did you do that? Did I

743
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: ever say that? Or do you splice that together? That

744
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: was a main man Tristan man He sent me an

745
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: email like one random day and it was great. After

746
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: Steve Irwin passed Tristan zoom to number one on the

747
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: Australian Power rankings and he's staying there too soon. Uh, West,

748
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: you're eating softball pants. Your thoughts, I don't really have

749
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: any thoughts. I mean I said I would do it,

750
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: so I have to do it. Do you think Johnny

751
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: Manzel could have thrown for two thirty yards in a touchdown,

752
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: no no interception, seven point four yards per attempt and

753
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: score twenties seven points in Pittsburgh. I don't know. I

754
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: didn't watch the game. I'm just saying. Brian Hoyer, well yeah,

755
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: I mean, well, he didn't play well in the first

756
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: half at all, and he continues to if you do

757
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: watch the tape, underthrow people miss targets. At the same time,

758
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: he played mistake free in that second half. I mean,

759
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: the run led the way here. But I think what

760
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 1: Hoyer did is what they were are hoping he could

761
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: do on one of his better days. And speaking of

762
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: Manziel in West, Yeah, for the listeners, maybe I didn't

763
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: know West said that he would eat his softball pants

764
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: of Manzel wasn't the Week one starter. So we will readdress.

765
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna address that later at some point and get

766
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: that in his system. As for Hoyer, um playing really

767
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: well in the second half, obviously, that's gonna give him

768
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: the week to start as well. You would think Manzelle

769
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: is not any closer seeing the field at three weeks.

770
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: We don't, like you know in in in NFL media

771
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: insider Iran Rapp Report spoke with people in Cleveland. The

772
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: basically said, we're not gonna use Manzelle unless it makes sense,

773
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: and it did not make sense at any point in

774
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: today's game. I do think we'll see him in time,

775
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: but you know it, this is Hoyer's job for another week, alright,

776
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: So not you still don't think, not a lot of

777
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: rope for him, but for at least one more week, alright.

778
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: Moving forward, one of the more impressive wins of the

779
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: of Sunday, maybe not against stellar team, but still the

780
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: performance opened eyes in the Minnesota Vikings went to St. Louis,

781
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, and uh it took took the Rams of

782
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: the wood shed. Of course no Sam Bradford there, but

783
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: put a thirty four six beating on the Rams. Cordurell Patterson,

784
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: number one on our making the Leap candidate list, had

785
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: a monster game sixty seven yard scoring run actually ran

786
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards on just three carries, and the

787
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: Rams held to Adrian Peterson under a hundred yards and

788
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: still got blown out. Sean Hill also got hurt in

789
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: this game. Just a bad sign for the Rams this

790
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: season and a nice start for the Vikings, which mark

791
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: you nominated as a potential team of a t L. Yeah.

792
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: They Mike Zimmer has put together a more aggressive defense

793
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: than I think we've seen in a really long time

794
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. They've ditched the whole cover two business. They're

795
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: doing some complex pass rushing alignments up front. They the

796
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: Rams had no shot in this game from the beginning.

797
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: Their offense looked completely dead on arrival. And you know

798
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: it's Matt Castle. He was He didn't light up the skies,

799
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't a fireball, but he got the job done.

800
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: And then Cordarrell Patterson three straight games with touchdowns out

801
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: of the backfield for thirty five plus yards the whole

802
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no receiver has ever done that. He's used.

803
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: I think he's He's a really good fit for North Turner,

804
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: who who's already found a way to use them creatively.

805
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: The Vikings are gonna be a tough out for teams

806
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: to can't handle what they have going on on defense

807
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: in terms of the way they're disguising blitzes and getting

808
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. Everyone talks that the NFC West is

809
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: was going to be so good this year. They might

810
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: have one of the worst teams in the league with

811
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: the Rams. And I know it's only a game, but

812
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: it just after one week to feel this hopeless, that

813
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: you're already losing Sean Hill and you're splitting carries with

814
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: Benny Cunningham and Zack and maybe they'll draft a quarterback

815
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: next year and you're getting dropped by the Vikings. It's

816
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: only one week, but it's just brutal Mark Win words

817
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: we're seeing Case Kingdom. Let's move forward to Dallas. Now,

818
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: this is one hero pick that I must say failed

819
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: horribly on. I thought the Cowboys would put up a

820
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: fight at home. They did not. They felt behind three

821
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: in the second quarter to the forty nine Ers. Colin Kaepernick.

822
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: Any questions about dis harmony in nine aer Land or

823
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: Kaepernick not looking good, he looked Rach Vernon Davis, Uh

824
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: look great. They ended up winning. Seen. Uh the Cowboys

825
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: look as bad as as many people fear or suspect,

826
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: and Tony Romo looked frankly rusty in his first game

827
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: back after back surgery. For all the talk of the

828
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: beleaguered defense, it was the offense that put them behind

829
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: the eight ball with four first half turnovers. At one point,

830
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: it looked it was like every few minutes I would

831
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: look up. I was trying to write stories, and I

832
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: was peeking back and forth at the TV, and every

833
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: time I looked up, a forty Niners defensive player who

834
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: was running as fast as he could towards the end

835
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: zone with the ball. Very odd to see defensive players

836
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: every time you look up about to score a touchdown.

837
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe Vernon Davis only had forty four yards

838
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: in this game. It seemed like every time I looked up,

839
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: he was running free to The Cowboys. Defense didn't even

840
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: play that bad in this game, did they? They did, Yes,

841
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: they The yards don't look so bad because the forty

842
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: Niners covered most of the field, but their defensive players

843
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: returning interception. Here's the staff that speaks to that. From

844
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: uh the Associated Press. The Uniteds led twenty one three

845
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: after the first quarter despite running just four offensive plays. Yeah,

846
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: that's that's three quarters. It's insane. That's what kind of game.

847
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Kaepernick had the fifth best passer rating of

848
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: his career. It wasn't like the Cowboys defense played well.

849
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide looked great for the forty niners. This might

850
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: be the year that Greg's boy, Frank Gore finally falls.

851
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: So when it comes to hide that we got more

852
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: time than we thought today, is that because this game

853
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: was completely out of hand and they wanted to Maybe,

854
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they want to want to rest

855
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: score at times this season. Is it really more of

856
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: eating into Gore's carries? Oh, I think he's definitely going

857
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: to eat into Frank Gore's carries. I think he got seven,

858
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: seven or eight rushes. That seems about what what he

859
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: should get on a regular basis. He's he's a more

860
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: explosive guy than Gore. I mean, he probably doesn't have

861
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: the patient's envision that Frank Gore has, but he's definitely

862
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: bigger and faster. Let's try not to dig dirt on

863
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: Frank Gore's grave on the same day he goes over

864
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: ten thousands career rushing celebrate that Frank Gore. Come on,

865
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to when the next run are gonna get

866
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: the ten thousand there that any there we go and

867
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: one of only ten backs in NFL history to get

868
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: the ten thousand yards in the same uniform. Wow, that's

869
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: a good stat That's why they pay you the big Bucks.

870
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: I must have lost most to them. All right, let's

871
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: move on. We'll head to Tampa where the Carolina Panthers

872
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: did not have Cam Newton who was a scratch with

873
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: a rib issue, and Derek Anderson, an old friend of

874
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler two thousand seven All Stars, steps in and

875
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: does the job. He throws a two thirty yards and

876
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, gets the Panthers out into a nice seventeen

877
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: nothing lead the Bucks stage to come back, but ultimately

878
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: the Panthers held on for road victory, a nice win,

879
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: four ron Rivera in a bad way for the Bucks

880
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: to start a season that you know what's frankly, let's

881
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: say it has a lot of promise despite how ugly

882
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: it ended, and josh My count delivered a very uneven performance.

883
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: It got better later in the game where when he

884
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: threw some touchdown passes, but he had one of the

885
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: worst interceptions. As we said, when Patrick was on the line,

886
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: you'll you'll see ever, and generally kind of looked more

887
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: like the Josh McCown we remembered that wasn't in the

888
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: comforting womb of Mark Trustman. That's a that's a disturbing

889
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: image Mark Truston's womb, very warm, warm liquid. I think

890
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: someone is going to send in a good photoshop on

891
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: Twitter from that. Yeah, you gotta beat the Panthers. When

892
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Anderson starts, Absolutely it's a terrible ulcer. People are

893
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: excited about. Anderson legitimately played well. He did not have

894
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: a good fourth quarter, but he legitimately made throws in

895
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 1: a few plays in this game that most quarterbacks wouldn't

896
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: make like he He had a quality start. I don't

897
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: think they lost that much for this one game. Going

898
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: to Derrick Anderson and watching this game, I have to

899
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: admit I had some residual team of a t L love.

900
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching this Carolina Panthers tea when I'm thinking do

901
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: we have to give up on this team? I love

902
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: this team flying around on defense. The old flame is

903
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: back in your life. Maybe the lesson might be here

904
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: that if you want to get Derek Anderson to re

905
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: revive that nineteen that October two thousand and seven form.

906
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: You prepare him for four years for one game, and

907
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: that's what they did, and he came out and thread

908
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: the needle. There is a genuine quarterback controversy in Carolina, right,

909
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: Well that's not true, but I will I will say this.

910
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: First of all, you you talked about the team of

911
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: a t L. We're picking one. We have four finalists.

912
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: But I did say Greg, as you know, we have

913
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: the right, we reserve the right to make a Matthew Mulligan.

914
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: We have that. So if we want to bring the

915
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: Panthers back in the mix, we have a couple of

916
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: weeks and we then we never technically eliminated them in

917
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: the elimination chamber. Does Cam Newton's sartorial choices today eliminate

918
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: the Panthers from your mind? I? You know what, Cam

919
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: Newton's gotta relax. By the way, if you're inactive in

920
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: a game, I don't want you coming out dressed like

921
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: an American gladiator's character. I don't want you sprinting to

922
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: the huddle and you need to get admonished by the

923
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: referee on the field and then or something. He'll be

924
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: fine for that. So really great contribution. Cam, calm down

925
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: and I asked, David really one of our great editors downstairs?

926
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: You know, is he an only child? Like, why does

927
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: he have this constant need for attention? Just do what

928
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: all the other injured quarterbacks do. I know it's the

929
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: first game you've ever missed, but just put your headset on,

930
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, whisper to the offensive coordinator in the quarterback

931
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: coach in the couarter and Derk Anderson every once in

932
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: a while, just you know, pipe down. Well, maybe as

933
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: he spends more and more time on the bench behind

934
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: fireball Derrick Anderson, he'll learn how this attitude should change.

935
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: Spared by a house in the wilderness. You know who

936
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: also deserves a little attention. Kelvin Benjamin. Yes, oh yeah,

937
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: catching made. We've trashed the preseason at times. That's what

938
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: the preseason is good for, finding rookies like him, because

939
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: you could tell he was legit in the preseason. He's

940
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: my favorite for offensive Six catches for nine yards and

941
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: that a gorgeous touchdown catch you ripped out of the

942
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: hands of Mike Jenkins. Uh yeah. The Panthers need Benjamin

943
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: to be an instant difference maker. He certainly was in

944
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: this game. A couple other facts. Doug Martin, Bucks running back, him,

945
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: him and RG three. They should just get together and

946
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: talk about how great two thousand twelve was. He had

947
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: nine carries for nine yards, took a wicket hit, and

948
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: he just didn't seem like himself in this game. And

949
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: then finally DeShawn Goldson, who gets paid a lot of

950
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: money by the Bucks to make plays. Uh. Everything was

951
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: saying about Derek Anderson's great, but he threw an interception

952
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: with under two minutes ago, or should have been an

953
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: interception right to DeShawn Goldson, who could have walked in

954
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: for the go ahead score and potential game when he

955
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: dropped the ball and then the Bucks turn it over

956
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: and the next play from scrimmage in the game's over,

957
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: DeShawn Goalzon needs to make that play. One last note

958
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: on Calvin Benjamin. He had twenty more yards in his

959
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: first game then Steve Smith had in any game with

960
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Laft. I'm gonna say it's not a good

961
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: sign for the Bucks offense that Javorsky Lane was their

962
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: most explosive player. That's just that's my take. Um. Finally,

963
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. Yeah, let's let's talk about the Denver

964
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: Broncos again look like the Denver Broncos after we saw

965
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: the the Seattle Seahawks dismember them in front of all

966
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: of America in the world. They jump out to a

967
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: huge first half lead three touchdown passes from Peyton Manning

968
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: to Julius Thomas, they hold down, hold on to win

969
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: in the second half. The Broncos are back on the

970
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: winning end of things. One nothing thoughts. Are they weirdly

971
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: boring the Broncos that they just make these wins look routine?

972
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: And should I feel like I should be more excited

973
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 1: when I'm watching the Broncos. It was a little bit

974
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: of a letdown just that they got out to such

975
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: a big lead in this game. I'm impressed with not

976
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: so much the offense because we saw that all last year,

977
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: but their defense. You know, they used the off season

978
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 1: to get tougher, bringing different, more physical players. It showed tonight.

979
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Luck has been behind a bad offensive

980
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: line the whole time he's been an Indie, but man,

981
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: they really have got to fix that situation because he

982
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: is going to get beaten up this season. Denver got

983
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: to him tonight. Yeah, I'd don't think that there's there

984
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:02,919
Speaker 1: are a lot of people are talking about other teams

985
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: winning the an f C South. I don't think the

986
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 1: Cults are in endy jeopardy of losing the FC South,

987
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: but they have so many roster holes in they're the

988
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: same holes that they had when Ryan Griggson took over.

989
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: We'll see. I think the Titans or the Texans can

990
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: get in the mix there, just because I think that

991
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: Colts aren't gonna run away from a five record. I

992
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: think they'll be around there all year. It's too early

993
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: to say all that. Reggie Wayne at least looked okay,

994
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: came back in the mix tonight, and Emmanuel Sanders on

995
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: the Denver side of the ball looks like he's gonna

996
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: be a nice signing. He made a beautiful catch on

997
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: the first half, and uh, you know he'll he'll fill

998
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: Derek Rick Deckers, who's just fine. It looks like I've

999
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: got a fantasy strategy for everyone next draft. Julius Thomas

1000
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: as high as you possibly can, watch him score three

1001
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns or whatever he does in Week one every year,

1002
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: and then trade him. You don't trade good players. Well,

1003
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying it's never Value is never

1004
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna be higher than right now. It's just like Julius Thomas.

1005
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: If he would have traded him last year at this time,

1006
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: you would have made a mistake. That's it, gentlemen. That's

1007
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: it for most of Week one. Of course, we will

1008
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: have the two games on Monday night, uh, the Lions

1009
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: and the Giants, and what's the other game the Chargers

1010
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: in the Arizona Cardinals to Team of a t L candidates.

1011
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: It could decide which one of those teams remains and

1012
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get sent into the Chamber of death. All things

1013
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: made up to eight Team of a t L, which

1014
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: we take very seriously. So that's it. So that's it

1015
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: for Sunday Night's edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

1016
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed it. We enjoyed Week one of

1017
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: the season. We got sixteen more of these bad boys,

1018
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: so we're excited for it. I know you guys are too.

1019
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: So we will be back on Tuesday Wednesday with another
